I saw it tonite, and was scared out of my wits, giggling and enjoying spotting the HORRENDOUS number of continuity gaffes (I am convinced they are deliberate!)
The cat fight with the Gypsy is a classic - she is trying to put a curse on the Girl. During the fight her false teeth fall out, and she attacks her throat with her GUMS!! Slip and slide folks. Audience in stitches.
Girl has just spent night being terrorised by demon, after which she sacrifices her kitten to Satan to save herself. Next morning boyfriend arrives to find her in kitchen eating a two pint tub of chocolate ice cream.
The continuity errors have to have been deliberate too, part of the fun.
Some of the scenes were quite scary. Not for kids. i think it took inspiration from the 1957 film "Night of the Demon" with Dana Andrews and Peggy Cummin. They have several themes in common albeit adapted for the new audience.
I loved it! Corny as hell, made me laugh jump and roll my eyes. No thinking required. Perfect for a weeknight.
Will it attain the status of Carrie?
